 Hello and welcome and we're back with Bob Cook who's going to tell us a little more about the event of 2017. Isn't that right Bob? Sure I am Roy. And what is this? Yes why not? Okay it's about the psychotherapy conference Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy fourth psychotherapy conference and it's a three-day conference a special event 13th to the 15th of October 2017 sorry my part is 2015 I was just thinking about my birthday actually which is on 2000 which is actually October the 15th which is a Sunday so the conference is 13th 14th and 15th of October a special three-day conference we've got three wonderful keynote speakers on the Friday which is the 13th of October very lucky day for some we've got Margo Sunderland who's a well-known speaker and well known in the psychotherapy field and she's coming down to open the conference so that's very very really important that's really good I'm pleased about that and then on a Saturday we've got another keynote speaker assistant professor Greg Orzelvich coming from Slovenia talking about attachment patterns from childhood to adulthood and then on the Sunday we've got someone from around here actually Dr Jonathan Lloyd talking about metaphors and psychotherapy from childhood to adulthood so three wonderful keynote speakers and then we've got 30 psychotherapy workshops over the three days so it's been a very special conference and went live the actual conference itself the conference site went live on Friday and we've already had four or five people booked on so that's good and that is www psychotherapyconferences.net or one word and then you can read up all the conferences on that website yeah I will put the link either downstairs if it's on YouTube or up on the camera or if it's on Facebook and you can you can click on and how many workshops are running Bob how many workshops 30 we've got morning five in the morning five in the afternoon for three days that's ten a day and they're some of the most senior people people in the world of psychotherapy transaction analysis integrated psychotherapy child and adolescent so it should be a super event that people I've known a long time they're such a high caliber I'm really pleased to have this conference it's a conference I've been putting together now for a while and it's not my swan sound I mean I'm not gonna retire but it will be the most special event to get all these people together in one roof yeah it's just marvelous and we've got a good building for it we've got the charters conference centre which is in Fallofield Manchester so wonderful setting I didn't find the setting a factor I didn't know about it till last year when I found it I thought it's perfect for our conference it's set in its own ground and it's got its own hotel there are 70 rooms in terms of bedrooms and accommodation I mean I've saved 50 of them at a discounted rate so that's good and it's such a lovely ambiance to this place I'm enjoying I mean I know we're going to go down and check it out ourselves aren't we yeah but it's such a such a beautiful setting it's going to be the psychotherapy conference of the year in my opinion anyway it is and also you've got some news on about people who book early so if you book early you're going to get an early birth discount Bob that's right if you book by the 31st of May plus the fact if you were MIPS students you get a discount there so if you do both it goes down quite substantial and even if you're not if you can book before May the 31st it's a good price so good price also that includes the tea and coffee throughout the day a big good meal at lunchtime and it includes the social evening on the Friday night where we've got a band coming in we've got a violinist coming in from Canada we've got Christine Redford which probably you've heard on some of my sites a lot and on a Saturday night 25 pound extra there's the Gala Banquet Wow which is really the gem of the whole conference in the sense of it's going to be good to have us all together a wonderful meal it should be a really good evening so all together it's a fantastic conference but what I'm most happy about is the standard of the psychotherapy presenters the workshops if you go to the website you'll be able to read all the presentations there's at least 22 of the presentations up already we have to read their bio we have to choose then which workshops you want to go on it should be a really good event I'm looking forward to it and of course people be getting CPD certificates for those people to go so you know this is very much CPD orientated and it kind of feels like people are going to be able to go and whatever their speciality or their interest is in the world of psychotherapy or counseling they can say well I don't mind doing that I'll learn a bit more about that it's almost like it's almost like a therapeutic marketplace where people can pick what they want to what they want to study and what they want to know more about yes it's like what you said well I'm going to take your phrase CPD heaven yes CPD heaven and I like the way you put that is because it covers child and adolescent all the way through to adult psychotherapy you can pick your workshop to your specialism yes you know we've got 60 to 70 students plus the therapists at our place and they'll all be there so it should be a fantastic conference you're welcome and please book before May 31st I would book now really because we only takes about 110 people so the sooner the better really go to the website have a look at the presentations maybe it could be a Christmas gift to yourself or someone else but please get on there get the discounts and look forward to seeing you there yeah drop a heavy hint to someone you
